The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the self-life of Kimchi prepared with Toha sauce(TK) and different kinds of jeot-kal, a traditional fermented fish sauce. The Kimchi samples were stored for 42 days at 12$\pm$2$\^{C}$. The results were as follows: The pH value was decreased in the order of TK, AK(prepared with fermented anchovy juice), SK(prepared with fermented shrimp) and CK(control), and the acidity was increased in the opposed order. Redox potentials decreased until 4 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. TK showed the lowest value in redox potential as well as the lowest change in the number of yeast; however, it had the highest contents of vitamin C and reducing sugar. The total number of lactic acid bacteria was higher in jeot-kal-added Kimchi than control throughout the fermentation period. In sensory evaluation. AK got the highest score in overall preference in the early stage of fermentation, but TK was preferred in the late stage.

This study investigated the washing efficiency of electrolyzed water for the removal of microorganisms and pesticide residues from Chinese cabbage. Initial total bacteria and coliform counts were 6.64 and 3.56 log cfu/g respectively. After washing, total bacteria count of tap water (TW) were 5.97 log cfu/g and low alkaline electrolyzed water (LAlEW) and strong acidic electrolyzed water (SAcEW) were 1.63-4.67 log cfu/g. Especially SAcEW-100 was found to the most effective method of washing the cabbages. After washing, the coliform count was dramatically reduced. The removal rate of pesticide residues by NaClO treatment (36.93-50.13%) was greater than that of TW treatment (32.28-38.46%). The removal rate of LAlEW-100 and SAcEW-100 was 63.79 and 78.30% respectively, and was higher than those of TW and NaClO treatments. The vitamin C content of the Chinese cabbages after all treatments did not differ significantly. Consequentially, the electrolyzed water was found to be effective to remove bacteria and pesticide residues from Chinese cabbage without affecting quality.

In this study, we investigated identification of anti-oxidative constituents from Ficus erecta var. sieboldii King (F. erecta) leaves. DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities were screened for the ethanol extract and solvent fractions, and ethyl acetate fraction showed the most potent scavenging activities. Five constituents were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of F. erecta leaves; monoolein (1), oleic acid (2), lutein (3), afzelechin (4), catechin (5). The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data including NMR spectra, as well as comparison of the data to the literature values. As far as we know, all of the compounds 1 ~ 5 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Studies on DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities were conducted for the isolated compounds. Among them, afzelechin (4) and catechin (5) showed strong DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activities, whose activities were comparable to a positive control vitamin C. Also, the content of catechin isolated from this plant was determined by HPLC and it was about 3.8 mg/g for the 70% ethanol extract and 20.8 mg/g for the ethyl acetate fraction. From these results, F. erecta leaves extract could be potentially applicable as anti-oxidant ingredients in cosmetic industries.

To maintain the quality of sweet persimmon during storage, the samples were treated with a combination of 50 ppm $ClO_2$ and 0.1% fumaric acid after harvest, packaged with low density polyethylene film, and stored at $1{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 35 days. The combined treatment reduced the populations of total aerobic bacteria, yeast and molds by 1.82 and 2.07 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to the control. During storage, hardness of all samples decreased, but total soluble solids and weight loss were not significantly different among treatments. In addition, high-quality dehydrated sweet persimmon was prepared using red algae extract as a dehydrating agent. The rehydration ratio and vitamin C content of red algae extract-treated sample were greater than those of hot-air dried sample. These results suggest that the combined treatment of $ClO_2$ and fumaric acid can be useful for maintaining microbiological safety of sweet persimmon during storage and dehydration of sweet persimmon slices using red algae extract is an efficient drying method for the preparation of high-quality dehydrated sweet persimmon.

The application of Dongchimi added with Wasabi for the improvement of quality was scientifically explored by reviewing the optimum level and its effect on the physicochemical property of product of fermentation. The final weight percentage of Wasabi in Dongchimi was adjusted to 0, 3, 5, 7 and 9%, per radish, each respectively. Following the fermentation of Dongchimi, the 7% treatment contained the highest pH and the lowest total acidity. The total vitamin C and reducing sugar content increased initially to the certain time of fermentation depending on the level of Wasabi, and the 7% treatment decreased later. The optimum levels of Wasabi in Dongchimi obtained through experiments were 5% and 7% per added radish weight, preferably 7% for fermentation-retarding effect of the product.

In this study, we compared that sensory characteristics and nutritional components of ice cream supplements with various levels(1, 2, 3％) raw and frozen citron juice. Vitamin C was not detected in frozen citron juice 1％ added group. The content of vitamin C was 4.7 mg/100g in raw citron juice 3％ added group. But it detected 1.0 mg/100g in 3％ frozen citron juice added group. Free sugars were detected sucrose, lactose and maltose. Those amounts of all samples were lower than control group and were lower goes to citron juice added ratio higher. Organic acids in ice creams were detected oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid and citric acid. The citric acid content was higher than other organic acid. Especially, citric acid content was the highest in raw citron juice 3％ added group (6.3 mg/100g). But it's content was low in all frozen citron juice added groups (0.5-0.6 mg/100g). Mineral contents of ice creams were highest in raw citron juice 3％ added group (3399.96 mg/100g). The results of sensory test, citron aroma and citron taste were the highest in raw citron juice 3％ added group. Overall acceptability was the highest in frozen citron juice 2％ added group.

In order to remove the high content of malic acid (0.48%) in freshly fermented apple wine by applying malo-alcoholic fermentation(MAF) using malate-decomposing yeasts, Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. japonicus or Schizosaccharomyces pombe, some factors which influenced malic acid decomposition in apple wine by malate-decomposing yeasts were investigated. By incubating the apple wine with these yeasts, 80% of initial malic acid was decomposed in 13 days at $20^{\circ}C$, whereas only 32% reduction in malic acid was observed in 40 days when MAF was not induced. For malic acid decomposition, Schizosaccharomyces pombe was superior to Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. japonicus in natural medium such as apple wine, whereas Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. japonicus was superior to Schizosaccharomyces pombe in synthetic medium. The optimum temperature for the MAF using these yeasts was between $20\;to\;30^{\circ}C$ and no adverse effect was detected by the addition of $SO_2$ up to 200ppm. Additions of $Mg^{2+}$ or certain amino acids such as alanine, aspartic acid to the wine could enhance the composition of malic acid.

During storage of $45^{\circ}Bx$ cloudy, $50^{\circ}Bx\;and\;72^{\circ}Bx$ clear apple juice concentrates for 18 months, the changes in microbial counts and physicochemical properties were investigated. Little viable microbial counts were detected in $50^{\circ}Bx\;and\;72^{\circ}Bx$ clear concentrates during all storage time and a few in $45^{\circ}Bx$ cloudy concentrates during the only first storage stage. In all three concentrates, any changes were not found in pH and titrable acidity. But Hunter L values were decreased and a, b values were increased. Alcohol soluble color(ASC) were increased and vitamin C contents rapidly decreased, especially during the first three months. The contents and compositions of free sugars were showed a little change. It seemed that the change in ASC was more closely related with that of vitamin C contents than that of reducing sugar contents.

The characteristics of the Baikkimchi sauce made from natural pigments according to the preservation period were explored. For this research, two Baikkimchi sauces were made. One was made of Baikkimchi and only side materials (Sauce I). The other was made of Baikkimchi, side materials and 1.5% of orange paprika powders (Sauce II). There was no significant change in pH and the total acidity. The color showed better stability in the sauce II, the one with the natural pigments. As the preservation period increased, vitamin C content and the viscosity decreased. In addition, the number of lactic acid bacteria became rather reduced. Sevral sensory features were different significantly according to the preservation period, and the one with source II showed better features overally.
